There is provided a recording apparatus for receiving recording data from an electronic apparatus or a host computer activated by being supplied with a power source through an interface, and performing a recording operation on a recording medium by the use of a recording head. This recording apparatus comprises power source supplying means for supplying predetermined electric power to the electronic apparatus, detecting means for detecting that the electronic apparatus has been connected, and control mans for changing over the control of the recording operation when the detecting means has detected the connection or non-connection of the electronic apparatus. Also, there is provided an electronic apparatus for effecting communication with a first external device activated by being supplied with a power source through a first interface and a second external device connected thereto through a second interface, and performing an operation. This electronic apparatus comprises power source-supplying means for supplying predetermined electric power to the first external device, detecting means for detecting that the first external device has been connected, and control means for changing over the control of the operation when the detecting means has detected the connection or non-connection of the first external device.

Utilizing an ink set that includes a plurality of chromatic primary color inks that, when used in combination, can reproduce achromatic color, and at least one spot color ink of hue different from any of the plurality of chromatic primary color inks. Color to be reproduced on a print medium according to any one input color is termed nullreproduction colornull, and the combination of ink quantities in the ink set for reproducing the reproduction color on the print medium is termed the nullcolor separation ink quantity set.null The ink quantity of the spot color ink included in the color separation ink quantity set is adjusted in accordance with a lightness parameter value which is correlated to lightness of reproduction color, so as to reduce ink quantity at a rate of change greater than the rate of change of the lightness parameter in the direction of increasing brightness.

An original of copying, fax, or the like is read by a CCD image sensor and resulting image data are input to a data abnormality detecting section via an A/D converter and correcting unit. A maximum value and a minimum value of the pieces of gradation information of the image data are detected and compared with a black determination value and a white determination value, respectively, whereby whether the original is all white or all black is detected and an data abnormality announcing section issues an alarm message or the like. The data abnormality detection is performed before a binarizing section binarizes the image data.

A system for printing print data that is multiplexed with a television-broadcast signal. By displaying a print button only when printing is possible, it is not possible for the user to determine whether there is no print data itself or there is no printing display because there is no printer. In this system, not only is print data detected, but the printer is also detected. When print data is detected but the printer is not detected, a display indicating that printing of the print data is not possible is performed to notify the user that printing is not possible because there is no printer even though there is print data.

The invention discloses a portable device that allows the user to access the Internet and World Wide Web. The portable device includes a modem that connects to a cellular telephone, thus the portable device connects wirelessly to the Internet. A host computer that runs a browser takes information received from the Internet and renders it onto a virtual display in its memory. This information is directed to a software which reduces the color depth of the information to a lower depth color image. This reduced image is then compressed by another software and sent to the portable device of the invention, for displaying to the user. Thus, the user views a bit map or raster image of a Web page. The portable device further comprises methods of pointing and clicking on text and images which represent links to other pages. All commands that the user enters into the portable device are sent to the host computer, which performs the commands via a browser, and sends the information back to the portable device.

An image processing system utilizing block selection processing. According to the system, pixel data of an image is input and block selection processing is performed on the input pixel data to determine types of pixels within the image. It is then determined, based on the block selection processing, if a pixel is in an object area of the image and, if the pixel is determined to be in an object area of the image, the pixel is processed. Such processing may include detecting a proximity of the pixel to an edge, detecting a chromaticity of the pixel and detecting a width of a character in which the pixel is included.

In order to reduce the total time needed to print data produced by application software, producing of data and printing of the data are performed in parallel. In the parallel processing mode, the application software outputs data part by part in the same order as the order in which the data is printed by a printer on printing paper in a printing direction, that is, in a direction from the top to the bottom of the page. A printer driver declares to an OS (Operating System) that the OS should perform processing in an unbanding mode, and banding is performed by the printer driver. In the parallel processing mode, data of an area is printed when data of a next area is being scanned, and thus the total time from the start of a copying process to the end of printing is reduced.

When a special color, which is a color other than the vertexes of the RGB cube during the generation of a color separation table, is used as an ink color, the invention sets a grid point for the special color on a side connecting cube vertexes. Then it becomes possible, by determining in advance grid point data based on a color measurement on the line including the grid point of the special color, to prepare a color conversion table having a uniform grid point density in the uniform color space even when a special color other than red, green and blue is used.

An information management device 30 receives an object image to be retouched and printed and a specification of retouching to be performed on the object image as a retouching request from one of multiple printing apparatuses 50a and 50b, and transmits the received retouching request to a computer 60a or 60b of a selected retoucher. The information management device 30 receives a resulting image retouched in response to the transmitted retouching request from the computer 60a or 60b of the selected retoucher and transmits the resulting retouched image to the printing apparatus that has sent the retouching request. The information management device 30 also carries out an accounting process to calculate a charge for the retouching request to each of the multiple printing apparatuses 50a and 50b and a payment process to calculate a payment for retouching of the object image to each of the retouchers, based on reception of the retouching request and transmission of the resulting retouched image.
摘要:
An apparatus distributes processed image data from a central location to remote terminals, for viewing by medical personnel for the purposes of diagnosis and determining a treatment regimen for a patient. The apparatus receives image data from imaging devices, and is programmed with rules or other parameters with respect to the manner in which that image data is to be processed and sorted. The apparatus applies the parameters to the appropriate received image data, and distributes the processed image data to one or more remotely coupled terminals. Because the image data is automatically pre-processed by the apparatus according to various parameters that are specific to certain medical personnel's preferences (or specific to other factors), the amount of repetitive user-required configuration and repetitive workstation processing is reducednullsimple remote terminals with limited processing capability can receive highly customized image data.
